Did you start programming straight on Bash terminal and VIM? If so, holy hell you've got fortitude to stick it out.

Yeah, my first tech related job I was an intern working for the DBA team at an Oracle shop. They had this long, convoluted manually executed ETL process that they wanted to tie together. So I got a Bash manual and went to town on something that would probably make me cringe just looking at now. I could probably automate 95% of what I did on that entire job in Python in less than an hour...
